The body as a harmonics of frequency

Each person vibrates at their own, unique harmonics of frequency. When the complex frequencies of the body become unbalanced, the body manifests this imbalance as dis-stress or dis-ease at the structural and biochemical levels (Sharrie Edwards).

We continue to use this quote from Sharrie Edwards as it truly explains the energetic system of the body.

Q So where did Vibrational Healing come from, is it new and why does Vibrational Sound therapy work?A We decided to break this question down into three individual componentsSo Answer 1,Vibrational Healing is based on the knowledge as old as time: The body has an energetic matrix around which the human form develops eg as dividing/ multiplying cells. This knowledge was known to the Egyptians, Chinese, Hindu’s, Buddhists, as well as the shamanic healers of Africa, Asia and South America. It was recorded in all of the major sacred texts , including the Old and New Testaments, and underlies or is the ‘backbone of the ancient practices of acupuncture, Tai Chi and Yoga.Answer2Well known names in the field of identifying vibrational and electrical fields stem back to Harold Saxton Burr in 1935 who proposed that all living organisms have electrical fields which govern their growth, a matrix or mould which governs their shape.Semyon and Valentian Kirlian in the 1940’s who refined a technique from 1898 for photographing an organisms energy field. Currently known as Kirlian Photography.Rupert Sheldrake a Cambridge biochemist and author formulated an extended theory of morphogenetic fields based on Burr’s findings.Richard Gerber M.D. the author of Vibrational Medicine: New Choices for Healing Ourselves which is considered the definitive text on vibrational healing. In this text he describes what he terms "The Human Multidimensional Energy System." An egg shaped energy field (or body) often described as the Auric fields which surrounds the physical body. There are number of layers which make up this energy body.Cameron Dawson [the Dawson Program] spent more than thirty years converting his theoretical knowledge into a practical program to identify and correct imbalances in the body quickly and painlessly without the need for drugs or surgery.The Sounds from Source Programs, are based on a combination of Sheila’s training in Vibrational healing and other fields in combination with Susan’s Bachelor of Science and Applied Par Psychology diploma and their own extensive research into how the vibrational sounds effect the body and its systems.Answer3Vibrational Sound Therapy addresses more than the imbalances in the emotional, structural, physical, and chemical / nutritional interrelated processes of the body. It looks at the genetic patterning of our ancestors as well as the levels of anxieties relating to issues of rejection, the vanishing twin syndrome, and the spiritual levels of cellular memory relating to past events and incarnations.The individual programs address many areas of the being from the distortion of the energetic matrix leading to a twist in the body, to levels of anxiety and depression.The Sounds from Source programs are developed to recognise and work with the cause of the situation, not the symptoms.

Q How long have you been working with these sounds?A In 2004 The Sounds from Source program was co-created by Sheila Kennedy and Susan Ormsby ‘The Sounds’ are a unique and synergistic blend of channelled information, the sound and vibration of tingshaw bells and, the power of intent. The sounds facilitate the release of cellular memory [memories held within every cell of the body] and assist in facilitating the bodies own innate healing intelligence to restore the body to health and harmony.

Q Where do the Sounds from Source come from? And how do they workA The Sounds from Source are ‘gifted’ to Sheila and Susan through channelled words from a source they describe as the source of the healing sounds, these words which are written or typed by Sheila then are put to bells and recorded so that the vibration of the sound and intention of thought and word is carried deep within the cells when the programs are played.

Q Why do they work?A We know that sound and especially vibrational sound is one of the oldest healing modalities known to humans. Sound forms our earliest experiences of our external environment whilst in the womb and our earliest experiences of love and fear. The vibration of sound from the voice of our mother or father, and the vibration of thought and intention eg the fear of Mum thinking about lighting a cigarette, she doesn’t have to actually smoke it to create the vibration of fear in the developing foetus.The comment below from Sharrie Edwards explains it well.In fact, sound or frequency, form the basis of our world. And frequency, as vibrational medicine, is at the heart of the world of wellness (Sharrie Edwards).

Q What will I feel when I listen to the sounds?A The answer to this question is open ended some people report feeling tingles or sensations in their bodies both while the sounds are playing and often hours later, other people have reported a sense of calmness or peace, and some very aware people have expressed a feeling of the sounds working with specific areas of their bodies.

Q Can the sounds be harmful?A The easy answer to this is No they cant, your body has an innate intelligence which allows it to take what it needs from the sounds and to allow you to utilise that for your own personal healing. The sounds are given and created with love and the highest of intention.

Q Why are some sounds not available for me to play at homeA The sounds and their intention vary from the very simple to the deepest of issues and we believe as Practitioners that we have a ‘duty of care’ to our clients. Some of the deeper sounds are recommended to be played in conjunction with one another, and we believe it is of assistance to the client to be able to share the thoughts and issues which may surface from them at these times with a trained practitioner.

Q How often do I need to listen to a sound?A Depending on the specific sound you are listening to, Peace is a good one to play daily, Study is good to play before or during a learning or study session. Start the Day is a great way to give children the best possible day, Flexibility, still a favourite sound is multi purpose and great before a sporting event, the gym, or to clear your thinking.

Q How long have you been working with these sounds?A Sheila trained as a Vibrational Kinesiologist with the late Cameron Dawson [The Dawson Program] in 2002, and has used many different ancient instruments in her work over many years. Her work specifically with the Tibetan Bells which we have created in to what was originally known as The Healing Sounds and is now renamed as Sounds from Source spans from 2002 to the current time.

Q How can I experience the sounds?A Probably the simplest way is to sign up for our 7 weekly eclasses. Each weekly eclass will introduce you to either a fully intentioned downloadable sound or mediation or poem. Complete with a sounds from source overview of the sound and suggestions for its use. You can sign up on the right hand side of this site. Just enter your name and email address.

Q How do I find a Sounds from Source Practitioner in my area?A Our Practitioner page lists qualified Sounds from Source Practitioners, and sessions are available with most practitioners in person or over the telephone or internet. It should also be noted here - that not all of the people we have trained are on our list. Some we were unable to contact when compiling the list, please send us an email at soundsfromsource@gmail.com if you wish to check that your practitioner is in fact, a registered, trained practitioner and what level of training they have received.Similarly, if you are a practitioner and wish to be included on our list send us an email as above.

Q When I download a sound - you state that it can be copied only 4 times - why?A The sounds will lose intention the more they are copied. A few years ago - we did not have permission to sell them in any other format other than on CD - to ensure the sounds potency was 100%. As time has progressed we were given permission to make them downloadable, and that they could be copied by the recipient up to four times without losing intention. i.e. copy onto a CD, copy one to you mp3 player, keep one on the computer and a spare.If the sounds are copied more than this - then the intention within them will lessen. The best way to envision this is to imagine a complete orchestra playing, then imagine copying this orchestral sound only the horn section is now missing, with the next copying - the string section has gone as well and so on. Fragments of the protocols will be missing with each further copying. And while no harm will be done, certain useful frequencies within the sounds will be gone - so they will not be as effective. Be wary of this - we did not make these conditions - the body of consciousness from which we draw this information made these conditions.

Q You mention the words ‘gifted and channelled’, when asked where the ‘sounds’ come from, can you please explain this.A Sheila has long been a ‘sensitive’ who is able to receive frequencies’ that other people may not hear. This is usually described as ‘channelling’ although Sheila’s personal explanation would be that she ‘downloads’ the information. The ‘gift’ of the information which is ‘translated’ into the Sounds from Source programs is not one which is taken lightly, both Susan and Sheila hold an enormous level of respect gratitude and awe for their own individual journeys of the ‘guardianship’ of this ancient and sacred knowledge.In April 2008 the information was given that the sounds ‘hold the frequency of all life forms’More recently in mid 2011 as Susan and Sheila worked together the following information was given:

‘The absolute purity of the sounds cannot be contaminated nor interfered with – they truly are the frequency of all life forms.In being in a pure state are not and cannot be bent manipulated, controlled, used for subversive action or ‘fractured out of their original contextWe were also told to look at how sound travels, not in waves as I had described previously. It penetrates and disperses [a wide ranging frequency] and it reverberates’
